Yes,  JS would be about the only way of doing it without getting into server
side gymnastics.

This method alllows a pop-up window which the viewer can click on, and it
also works if JS is turned off since it has a built-in HTML link. It is
better to allow the viewer to click on a link than it is to present them
with a surprise pop-up.  Remember to remove the period before A HREF which
is there so it displays correctly in HTML capable browsers.

<.A HREF="myfile.htm" ONCLICK="myWindow=window.open
myfile.htm','MyWindow','toolbar=no,width=550,height=350,scrollbars=yes,left=
200,top=0');return false">Click Here</A>
